ALL WORK / RUSSIAN BATHS
Album cover, photography and design.
Russian Baths fuses the abrasive sounds of ‘80s New York, the angular outbursts of DC hardcore, shoegaze’s torrents of noise and the suffocating anxiety of the Information Age. Their operation goes deep. One part horror movie soundtrack, serene still life and personal confession, the band’s music is at once imposing and intimate. As with their namesake, Russian Baths’ work is a place where hidden things happen, sometimes beautiful, sometimes tragic, always obscured, but calling to be explored.
Recorded and assembled over the course of two of years and meticulously mixed by Ben Greenberg, "Deepfake" is dense, dark and finely crafted.
